# process.  It's these worker processes that listen to sockets and
# accepts the incoming connections.  Should be set equal to the
# number of cores on the machine.

# The events block configures the connection process parameters. The nested 
# epoll directive tells nginx to use the epoll processing method based on the
# Linux 2.6+ epoll system call for responding to incoming connections. The 
# worker_connections directive tells nginx to allocate memory for up to 
# 1024 connections for each worker process.
